what are the end game rules?
Answered counted as answeredThe game ends when a player reaches the end of autumn and either cannot perform any more actions or does not wish to [1]. At this point, that player must pass; once a player has passed, they cannot be given any cards or resources [1]. If cards or resources must be given to a player but all other players have already passed, those items are discarded instead [1]. Any remaining players continue playing until all players have passed [1]. To determine the winner, add up all points: * **Base Values:** Add the base value of each card [1]. * **Additional Points:** Add point tokens, purple Prosperity card bonuses, Journey points, and Events [1]. * **Tie-breaking:** If there is a tie, the player with the most Events wins [1]. If a tie still exists, the player with the most leftover resources is the winner [1]. Specific cards provide additional points at game end: * **Architect:** 1 point for each of your leftover resin and pebbles (up to 6 points total) [2]. * **Bard:** Gain 1 point token for each card (up to 5) discarded from your hand [2]. * **Gatherer:** Worth 3 points if paired with a Harvester [2]. * **Ever Tree:** Worth 1 point for each purple Prosperity card in your city, including the Ever Tree itself [3][4]. * **Palace:** Worth 1 point for each Unique Construction in your city, including the Palace [5]. * **School:** Worth 1 point for each Common Critter in your city [5]. * **Theater:** Worth 1 point for each Unique Critter in your city [5]. * **Castle:** Worth 1 point for each Common Construction in your city [4]. * **Clock Tower:** Any points left on the Clock Tower at game's end count toward your total [4].

- gate not evaluated for this ruling (boost, supersedence, and wrench all off at ask time), and the base-rulebook arm went unrecorded for the same reason — the wrench that would have stored it was off; rulesage.errata.boost-enabled=false, rulesage.errata.supersedence-enabled=false

retrieval — what the search arm returned
score = the fused retrieval score (reciprocal-rank fusion over the search arms) — NOT a cosine similarity. How many arms fused this ruling was NOT RECORDED (it predates the boost trail, ran on the path that stored none, or stored one that could not be read), and the ceiling depends on that count (ceiling = arms/(k+1) at k=60): 2 arms top out at 0.03279; 3 arms top out at 0.04918. So a score above 0.03279 here is not an anomaly: it is arithmetic proof a boost arm voted, and the measured band 0.016–0.033 (taken on two-arm asks) is what does not apply. A chunk only one arm ranked highly lands near 0.016 (that one arm's #1 vote), so 0.03 here is an excellent hit, not a 3% match.
per-arm ranks (the rank each search arm gave a chunk): NOT DISCLOSED by the gateway. Fusion happens gateway-side and only the FUSED score crosses the wire, so rulesage cannot show them without a gateway change. The rank column below is the FUSED rank (position in the returned list), which is real.
token count per chunk: NOT DISCLOSED — chunk token counts are not reported on the ask path. The character counts below are of the bounded snippet/quote rulesage actually received — a real measurement of what we hold, never an estimate of the chunk.

- stream path
- not recorded — this ruling predates the stream-path column (V41)
- watchdog
- first-token watchdog: 30s per arming window (rulesage.table.first-token-watchdog-seconds), re-armed once by the passages frame — so the worst case before a reader falls back to polling is 60s. Whether it actually fired is a BROWSER-side decision that never reaches the server, so it is not recorded here. The stream path above is the server's half of that story: whether a delta was emitted at all.
- num_ctx · think posture
- both are the CHILD's settings, not rulesage's, and no ask reply carries them — an answer never states which context window or think posture produced it. The live-seat line above reads them from the running child instead, where the gateway can answer for itself; it describes the child NOW, not this ask.

errata registry — what the gate above had to match against
this game registers NO errata cards (edition 10), so "no registered errata card matched" above could never have matched one
Errata scope: the gate above matched this ruling's own edition only. When an ask also reads an expansion, that expansion's own registered errata cards stay outside the match — a stated phase-1 limitation, not a failed lookup.
